Question

How to care for premature babies?

Answer

Caring for premature babies requires patience from parents and timely feeding. Since premature infants have weaker gastrointestinal functions, improper feeding can easily cause vomiting. Therefore, it should not be based on the amount specified in books for feeding, nor should it be compared with other children. Timely feeding is very important. If vomiting occurs frequently, medication may be needed to intervene. In the care of premature infants, massage and touch are also very important. It is not necessary to regularly learn massage and touch techniques, but it is a good practice to massage the child’s back and feet every day.
